Military HQs. Silence.
Academies. Silence.
Syndicates. Silence.
The Star Stadium. Silence.
All eyes were on one person.
What had they just witnessed? A purity level of 100 percent?
Kailen Darkhaven had not just done something inconceivable. He had just made history. He had carved a legend… once again.
As far as time could remember, no one in the universe had ever had a purity level of 100 percent. Well, even with his purity level of 99.99 percent, no one has ever had that. But, this was entirely on another level.
A hundred percent was inconceivable.
And the chubby, non sentient, humanoid, cute ethereal pill spirit floating around him was the perfect proof of that. An act that could evoke a universal phenomenon theorised in texts as a mere theory, or what some would even describe to be a myth.
Because none had ever thought someone could achieve a purity level of a 100 percent in alchemy. And because it simply could not exist.
But reality had bent once again, to the will of the person currently standing in the center of the stadium.
Kailen's loved ones in particular were overwhelmed with emotion. They thought they had grown used to his abnormal feats, but this was on another level entirely.
What had happened here was something that would be forever recorded in the annals of the virtual universe archives! The generations ahead would come and know of it.
And everyone was fully aware that no one else could replicate the same feat. No one was putting him on a pedestal. It was simply acceptance of who the person standing in the center of the stadium was.
"Selena, Saul, you'd be very proud of him," Kailen's grandmother muttered; tears were actually in her eyes.
"I wish Arrie and the others were really out of seclusion to witness this," Old Ha sighed.
Everyone nodded deeply; silence reigned again. Even they were too shocked.
Legoland sighed deeply with shock etched on his features. He had expected the RiverBlood Empire to win. But he had not expected Kailen to go out of his way to do something more impossible than the impossible things he was already capable of.
He was so glad he made a decision to not offend Kailen during their time in the Seasoned Prime Sect, but rather decided to partner with him. Even he had not expected that what he did would bring him so much good fortune.
At the time, he didn't know his actions would lead him to befriending a myth—someone who will be whispered in legends in the universe sooner or later. What had happened today would elevate Darkhaven's name further.
The Stadium was still quiet. The geniuses of the other empires, still on the competition grounds, were like statues. They stared dumbly at Kailen Darkhaven.
What was this? A purity level of 100 percent? No… how could something like this be possible?
But, the president of the SCA HQ, an old monster with vast experience who could not be amazed by anything, had even lost his composure. Even the chief of the alchemy association of the SCA HQ had even cracked with shock and stupor.
There was no way this was untrue. How then could anyone explain this pill spirit floating across Kailen?
As if to bring closure, to seal the confirmation, the appraisal artifact hovered above Kailen. It scanned the pull.
[Rank 8 healing pill made by Black Flask Alchemist Kailen Darkhaven (RiverBlood Empire). Purity level of… reanalyzing purity level, registering anomalous purity level in database. Calibrating purity level. 100 percent. Placement decided: 1st place]
So it really was a purity level of 100 percent. They had just witnessed a legend.
Many felt a weight of several emotions overtake them. They felt privileged. To have witnessed this. Privileged to have known him. Privileged to have sat in his lectures. Those streaming who had encountered him in the past felt privileged to do that.
The professors from the Astral Empire Academy. The young lady who had an altercation with him in the Astral Empire runesmith association Branch in the virtual universe several years ago. The young man who was taught a lesson in the alchemy association Branch by Kailen during Kailen's rank 1 alchemy test.
The orphans at the Darkhaven orphanage. The young lady whose life Kailen had changed by sending her to the Heavenly Lightning Sect.
In fact, many were replaying their moments of meeting him in their minds, sighs of emotions following. Some were full of regret for not sowing seeds of good deeds into his life. Had they done that, they could have gotten on his good side. Others simply felt privileged to have met him.
As for Kailen himself, he didn't pay attention to the reactions around him. He grabbed the pill. The pill spirit hovered around the pill. The universe energy undulations radiating from the pill was frightening.
Not bad.He thought.
The pill disappeared into Kailen's secret realm. The pill spirit also disappeared. After all, the pill spirit was literally the essence of the pill. Under shocked and stupored gazes, he calmly floated back towards the participant seat.
At the moment, the geniuses of the other empires on the competition grounds didn't even look at their results. Did it even matter now? They simply floated back to the participants' seats.
But the silence stretched on. The enormity of what they had witnessed was too much for them to speak. Also, why was Kailen Darkhaven still sitting here? They felt so undeserving sitting here with him.
Everyone had even forgotten that he wanted to participate in the runesmith Competition in place of Mistborn. This was when Legoland sent him a thought transmission, voice still full of shock.
"Kailen, do you still want to participate in the runesmith competition?"
Kailen sighed. Frankly, considering how things had turned out, he didn't see the need to. Besides, he had won the alchemy competition. He had achieved his goal of entering the general SCA HQ as a core member.
However, he thought of continuing with the Runesmith competition because of Legoland. He wanted to gain some face for the RiverBlood Empire since they had lost all the runesmith competitions in the past.
He decided to be honest. "Frankly, no. You don't see the need for it anymore?" Kailen sent a thought transmission to Legoland.
"Not really. You may underestimate the gravity of what you just pulled off. The abnormal is normal to you after all. It's simply just who you are so no one can blame you for seeing it within your expectations."
Kailen knew Legoland was talking about the 100 percent purity level.
Legoland continued, "Frankly, with what you've achieved, I don't think anyone is in the mood for the runesmith competition anymore. If you continue being a part of it, the other participants will forfeit. Hehe. There's no need to represent the RiverBlood Empire in the runesmith competition. Participating or not will prove the same point. Even if you don't participate, everyone will know the RiverBlood Empire would have won, but you simply didn't see the need to participate. Kailen, I am really grateful for everything man."
"Trying to thank me all the time. Seriously dude that's cringe," Kailen replied. "But I get you. That's what I thought too. I don't see the point in participating anymore. I suppose I'm gonna drop out of the Runesmith competition."
After exchanging thought transmissions with Legoland, Kailen left the participants section. He headed towards the middle section of the VIP to catch up with Old Ha and the others.
After exchanging a few words with them, finding it quite amusing that they were still in shock after what they've witnessed, Felicia was about to barrage him with questions, when someone from the high section of the VIP came to the middle section.
It was President Harrison.
